Education Courses

Driver Education for learning drivers is offered across South Dakota by various local entities and schools. If you are interested in learning about programs in your area, email or call Christopher Grant, the SD State Driver Education Coordinator at (605) 431-6520, who will provide you with the contact information you are seeking.

Please also be aware that while there are a number of commercial driver education courses online, the State of South Dakota does not review, approve, certify, or recognize any of these courses. Additionally, unlike the community and school-based instruction offered across the state, the commercial online programs do not qualify for the purpose of reducing the number of days a minor must hold an instruction permit, nor do they qualify as a waiver for the knowledge or driving tests.
